Peaky Blinders (TV Series) Dangerous (2017) User Reviews

Tom Hardy is amazing in his role!!!!!!!!!!!!

[arielgrv · 9/10 · 24 February 2021]

His lines are the best in every episode, it is like he is the Deus Ex Machina with all the truth that comes out of his mouth.... in another respect Adrien Brody is ridiculously in his Marlon Brando impersonation as everybody pinted out before.....

Adrien Brody is crap, everybody else Rocks

[jcole-71197 · 10/10 · 18 January 2018]

Peaky Blinders is absolutely incredible, but Adrien Brody is ridiculous as Luca Changretta. His "gangster" accent is pathetic, trying to sound like the Godfather on occasion. He can't keep the accent consistent making it sound so fake and forced! I'm so ready for him to get whats coming to him in the show. I'm really glad to see Arthur's character tone the attitude down, being the loud bad-ass begins to wear on the viewer. The music in Peaky Blinders is probably the best of any show I have ever seen, raw, real and strong. Hope it continues in Season 5.

Alfie and Aberama meeting is one of the funniest scenes in the series period

The reason tommy walks with his arms like that is because he's wearing a double holster under his arms. Don't want to spoil but there's a reason for Tommy's blank face when Michael said have a good weekend. Michael's fall from grace starts now. Tommy didn't get his family arrested. He saved them from hanging. His family was going to get arrested no matter what. The only reason they survived prison was because of Tommy. The reason everyone hates him for that is because they're just looking for someone to blame, and because Tommy never explains anything to anyone, and he knows they're not going to care about whatever he has to say on that topic, and his family are emotional people who don't usually care about the facts of a situation, they still hate him for it.

Adrienne Brody's bad Don Corleone Impression

[qtfalco · 8/10 · 20 December 2022]

This episode was ruined by Adrienne Brody's embarrassing Marlon Brando as Don Corleone impression. The story was great. Everyone was great in this episode. The writing was exceptionally well done. Adrienne Brody and his usual over-acting was worse than usual do to his terrible impersonation of what he apparently thinks is what a genuine mafia boss would sound like. I guess wearing the movie "The Godfather" was his only frame of reference. Truth be told, even though it was very clear that his performance was supposed to be based on Marlon Brandi's Don Corleone, it was like the impression a bloke down at the pub might do. Bloody Awful.

A pretty interesting and kind of fun episode to watch.

A pretty interesting and kind of fun episode to watch. This season has been one of the best and most badass season... The soundtrack is so much fun. Tommy is truly interesting, and it's so exciting to watch him, and his actions. He's very layered, and mysterious, so he's a very good leading character. Arthur is also so good in this season, I'm feeling like it's one of his best seasons. I like that Finn is getting more attention, and I like that he's speaking up and saying that he's not John. Ada is really good, and it would be cool if we saw her have a relationship with Jessie Eden. Micheal's really good, and I'm very interested in his internal conflict. Polly is a character I go back and forth on, because while she's such a bad-ass, she's also a very inconsistent character, and sometimes the writing fails her... But... I think that her betrayal is interesting, but I understand why she's doing this. I was happy to see May again, and she's a love interest I enjoy, and honestly more than Lizzie, who I didn't really like in this episode. Luca is such a good villian, and I want to see more of him, he's highly intimidating and watchable. The Golds are fun additions, and I want to see more of them, and Alfie coming back in was great... But I feel like he's going to betray Tommy. Again. This episode was kind of tense, with nice bits of action. So, this was a good episode, and I can see that they are setting up the finale.

Dangerous

[Prismark10 · 6/10 · 15 February 2018]

Luca Changretta accepts Aunt Polly's offer but leaves a message that he can kill her son at any time.

Aunt Polly needs to offer up Tommy Shelby to the Italians in order that the rest of the family be spared.

Aberama Gold's attempt to kill Changretta fails. However Tommy has set a boxing match for his son against a contender offered by Alfie Soloman.

Tommy also needs to keep his factories running and offers a deal with the union rep.

It was nice to see Tom Hardy's character Alfie return. He might be religious but he swears like a trooper and remains shifty. Then again he is in good company as a lot of people in this episode has betrayal on their mind.

A joke

[aaron_ferrari · 3/10 · 10 January 2021]

I loved Peaky Blinders up until the start of this season (season 4) but the apparently dreaded New York Mafia are a joke of an adversary.

With Luca having managed to get face to face with an unarmed Tommy in a previous episode, just to explain to Tommy that Luca plans to kill his family members first, then leave, Luca is now contemplating doing a deal with Poly to get Tommy only.

Then Luca wastes all this effort fooling the Shelbys just so he can threaten Michael and pass a message to Poly (through Michael) that he accepts the deal.

Lizzie

[Calicodreamin · 6/10 · 30 November 2021]

Lizzie kind of owned this episode, good acting and some interesting plot developments. Main storyline is slowly evolving though a lot of distractions.

This "vendetta" is growing sillier and sillier

[martin-andersson22 · 3/10 · 4 April 2019]

Excuses, deals, backing down and grandstanding. Season 3 was the last watchable season.

Decent little episode

[nicofreezer · 7/10 · 8 July 2021]

Nothing Incredible but a not top bad episode, good interactions between characters. But The last 2 episodes needs to be stronger of course.

Also I struggle recognise with all theses women looking the same, there is 4 Brown hair women all looking the same, the Sister the horse girl the secretary and the Syndicate girl.

Give me strength.

Charlotte Riley is an incredibly talented actress (deserving of endless success) & it's physically painful, watching her continually being saddled with a reductive, embarrassing role (which wastes her potential) where her only purpose is to desperately pine for the "irresistible" male protagonist - who spends the duration of each episode fighting off the advances of numerous women who've fallen victim to his "charms"... Though I'm unsure as to what's supposed to make him appealing because he's a monotonous, manipulative, stagnant character - the embodiment of toxic masculinity - that hasn't developed one bit since his first appearance in S1's debut episode.

The "cool, working class bad boy" act doesn't really work anymore either because after 4 long seasons, that gimmick's grown tired & irksome too.

Season after season, Steven Knight seems genuinely incapable of writing for women unless their only function within a narrative is to serve at the behest of their male counterparts & I can't convey just how exhausting it is at this point - seeing them exist within the world of "Peaky Blinders" solely for the gratification of men. There's no justification for such pitiful, outdated representation.

Not to mention, the plot armour & backpedaling... How many more times are characters going to miraculously survive botched assassination attempts? Try something new, I beg. Fed up of seeing the show rehash the same story beats over & over again, relentlessly.
